SEARCH MINERALS ANNOUNCES AMENDED TERMS FOR NON-BROKERED PRIVATE PLACEMENT FINANCINGS

Search Minerals Inc. has amended the terms of its previously announced non-brokered private placement financings for gross proceeds of up to $993,847.

Under the amended terms for the financings, the company has increased the price for its hard-dollar private placement from 25 cents per share to 33 cents per share, such that the financings now consist of the following:

• A non-brokered charity flow-through unit private placement through an arrangement with Wealth Creation Preservation & Donation Inc. of up to 1,487,694 units at a price of 50 cents per flow-through unit for gross proceeds of up to $743,847: Each flow-through unit will consist of one flow-through common share and one-half of one transferable non-flow-through common share purchase warrant. Each warrant will be exercisable to acquire one non-flow-through common share of the company at an exercise price of 65 cents for a period of 24 months following the date of issuance.
• A non-brokered hard-dollar private placement of up to 757,576 common shares at a price of 33 cents per offered share for gross proceeds of up to $250,000.

The gross proceeds from the flow-through financing will be used by the company to incur eligible Canadian exploration expenses that qualify as flow-through mining expenditures, as both terms are defined in the Income Tax Act (Canada), related to the company's Foxtrot and Deep Fox projects in Labrador. The company also intends that such expenses incurred will be eligible for the critical mineral exploration tax credit. The net proceeds from the share financing will be used by the company for working capital and general corporate purposes.

The financings are subject to the receipt of all necessary regulatory and other approvals, including, but not limited to, acceptance of the TSX Venture Exchange. There can be no assurance that the financings will be completed, whether in whole or in part.

The flow-through shares and warrants comprising the flow-through units and the offered shares, as well as the common shares issuable on exercise of the warrants, will be subject to a hold period of four months and one day from the closing date of the applicable financings in accordance with applicable securities laws.
